Those who don’t see anything wrong have their heads in the sand. he gave the media the ammo with which to bombard him. even if his activities are not sketchy, the circumstances surrounding his absence permit him to be painted in a bad light and show political naivete which doesn’t bode well for a run for higher ofc. instead of blaming those reacting, the blame is better place on he who set the wheels in motion, by his behavior, to permit such a reaction.
I agree with you 100% — don’t understand the focus on the media when they were given different stories. The media came after our RAT Governor for not telling the Lt Governor several years ago that he was going to be gone out of State.
Sanford is high profile because of his actions and the media would be even more likely to go after him. Someone just posted he does this from time to time. That is not very smart. If he wants to wander around without security, then he shouldn’t be Governor.
